Transmigrated Into a Famine, Starting by Feeding My Sister-in-Law Before Taking Concubines

[Transmigration + satisfying power fantasy + political intrigue + historical romance + fictional setting]

"I'll keep you alive, and you'll help me secure the frontier."

Ji Chengyu never imagined that the first promise he made after transmigrating into a book would be to his sister-in-law, Song Zhixia, who lay sick in bed. He searches for millet to treat her asthma, while she prepares wound medicine to save his soldiers. He leads refugees in clearing fields and planting wheat, while she sets up a shelter by the fields to treat the sick and injured.

After meeting Tang Xingmian, a Uyghur merchant woman, he rescues her from a cave, and they go on to form a trade alliance. She brings spices and jewels, and he gives her grain and ironware. From rivals to comrades, the three stand together to fight foreign invaders, put down rebellions, and foster trade. When Song Zhixia gives birth to two children, Shoujiang and Anlan; when waves of green roll across the wheat fields of the barren city; when patrol cavalry ride along peaceful borders, Ji Chengyu looks back on the road he has traveled. From half a wheat cake to the lights of ten thousand homes, the road to ruling as king of the frontier has long been marked by protection and responsibility.
